Cooks Beach at Cape May. You'll notice the bird sitting atop the structure. He literally didn't move for about 30 minutes - I was beginning to think he was dead standing up. This was a 12 minute exposure using an ND10000 filter and a 3 stop hard grad for the sky.

(difficult trip out - "On August 3rd we began the 60-mile journey to the ocean. Rain, fog, and poor visibility made the trip a most uncomfortable one. When we reached the beach on August 9th we didn’t have a piece of dry clothing among us. The preceding six days had been too much for even waterproof articles. To add to our misery, a cache of food left on the beach was stolen, apparently by fishermen. We were reduced to a diet of wild peas for three days. On August 12th we were picked up by Merriman. Dr. Robert Sharp, geologist studying the Malaspina Glacier, had spotted us earlier that day while attempting to air drop supplies at his camp on the Malaspina Glacier.")

"Named in 1874 by . H. Dall, U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey (USC&GS), for Captain James Cook, 1728-79, English navigator and explorer who was responsible for considerable exploration of the Alaska coast as far north as Icy Cape, near latitude 70." - edits.nationalmap.gov/apps/gaz-domestic/public/summary/13...

"In 1874 W. H. Dali and Marcus Baker of the U. S. Coast Survey named Mounts Cook and Vancouver from the sea, but somehow the names and elevations must have gotten scrambled, as they mapped Cook’s approximate elevation on Vancouver and Vancouver’s approximate elevation on Cook, and surely they had intended the higher mountain to bear Cook’s name, for he was the more famous of the two British navigators. At any rate, the names stuck where they first appeared on the maps and the elevations were soon applied to the right mountains. At the time of the Klondike gold rush the need was seen to determine the Alaska-Canada boundary more precisely, as the old Russian-British Treaty of 1825 had merely said for this section, "the chain of mountains which follow, at a very small distance, the winding of the coast.” The crests and interior of the Saint Elias Mountains were quite unknown around 1900 and "a very small distance” was taken to be within 10 marine leagues, so it was decided to connect prominent peaks no more than 34½ miles from the sea to form the boundary between the head of Portland Canal and the 141st meridian. Mount Vancouver was used as Boundary Peak 181, but the surveyors went in no further than the sea in this area, hence they used the south-southeast summit rather than the higher one hidden behind it."
aka Boundary Peak 182

La baie de Cook est, avec la baie d'Ōpūnohu, l'une des principales baies de Moorea, une île de Polynésie française. Elle est située dans le nord de l'île. Elle est nommée d'après l'explorateur britannique James Cook qui passa sur l'île en 1777.

Mt Cook, the tallest mountain in New Zealand, helped Sir Edmund Hillary to develop his climbing skills in preparation for the conquest of Everest.
Aoraki Mount Cook National Park is home of the highest mountains and the longest glaciers. It is alpine in the purest sense - with skyscraping peaks, glaciers and permanent snow fields, all set under a star-studded sky
Aoraki / Mount Cook is the highest mountain in New Zealand. Its height since 2014 is listed as 3,724 metres, down from 3,764 m before December 1991, due to a rockslide and subsequent erosion.

Just near Mt Cook village was this view. It reminded me of the scenes from the second Lord of the Rings movie. It just needed some orcs.

This Pacific Imperial-pigeon (Ducula pacifica) was photographed eating palm fruit on Rarotonga island within the Cook Islands.
This pigeon is 36–41 cm (14–16 in) in overall length and weighs 370–420 g (13–15 oz).
The back, tail and wings are blackish-green, the head and neck are light grey. The breast is grey with a pinkish tinge.
The under-tail coverts are brown. The bill is black with a knob on the upper mantle. The iris is red. The female is slightly smaller.
This juvenile lacks the knob on the bill, is duller and lacks the pink on the breast.

This is the one I intended to post, and now I have lost the faves and comments that accrued while I was busy - I am so sorry if you had already left something!
This is a random selection of books on my shelf - purchased to help create meals that fit the diet that helped to clear Peter's carotid artery from fully blocked to 50% flow. Goodness knows what it is now, because he really doesn't like and all kinds of cheats sneak in!

This is from by best friends wedding on 2/14/09. With all the things going on right now I was finally able to find some time to whip out the camera. . . over 600 images taken at this one. . . oh and did I mention that this was a freebe . . . I'm-a-gonna be busy for a while, LOL!! Anyway, just wanted to post something to let you all know that I'm still here, just been away from flickr and photography for the last few months. I promise to go through all of your streams some time this week if time permits.

This body of water near Anchorage is Cook Inlet which leads to the Gulf of Alaska. In past Winters, you could see icebergs floating in the water. But there is more ice slush this Winter than the last two or three.
I took this photograph from Kincaid Park.
The huge snowfall that occurred while we were in Yosemite created so many unique visions. This was one of my favorites.
Macro Mondays: "Sweet or Savoury"
A nice savoury steak, cooked just how I like it!

The return leg of 'The Bluebell Railway' tour crosses Cooks Pond Viaduct at Dormans Park, just north of East Grinstead. Taken from the public footpath here through the palisade fence, the portrait composition to include as much of the reflection as possible. Locomotives are Class 73s 73119 'Paul Taylor' & 73128 'Kent and East Sussex Railway' with 66792 'Collaboration'. The train would run to Acton Lane sidings where the 73s would detach, the 66 taking the train alone from there back to Nottingham.
Come cook with me in my kitchen. I’ll give you all you can eat when we’re done 😉
